So for the guys that are on the Stylelife Elite Forums, this routine has actually been leaked out.  I won’t say who or how, but I did see this in a field report and I can only say…. WOW!  This is something that Gypsy from the Stylelife Academy crew has taught.  Yet, Farmer has put it together in a pretty good session that I truly believe needs to be tested.  This boasts kino escalation, cold reading, comfort building and an awesome DHV for the guys that pull it off.  Are you ready for the challenge?

First off, this can be set up as an opener, but I recommend using this well after you open.  What kind of routine am I talking about?  How about PALM READING?  That’s right.  This week we are going to break down the art of Palm Reading so you can work it into your sets.  It’s not as hard as you think.  You just gotta do a bit of reading to frame it.  And come on, when has reading up on winning over the girl of your dreams NEVER been fun?

With that I HAND OFF, Gypsy’s Palm Reading DHV

I particularly would love to see this tested out because I have seen a lot of talk on the Palm Reading Skills of fellow PUAs and Social Artists.  So, give this routine a shot and post up what you think about it by Monday, February 15th to see if it gets the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval.

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

Welcome back to the results breakdown of the Cologne Opener.  The Stylelife Moderator, Prodigy, did an incredible breakdown of this classic routine.  As seen in the book The Game, we decided to pull this one out of the closet and test it out just in time for the Valentine’s Day holiday.  After all, no girl wants to be with a guy that smells like butt.

With just a few alterations, this routine has been tested by various Stylelife Academy students, Stylelife Coaches, and of course Style himself.  But, the question is, how did it fare with you?

Now, onto the results of the Cologne Opener:

1. Does it work successfully?

As per test results, all testers agree this routine opens successfully. 5/5 for Successful.
2. How difficult is this routine to master?

According to testers results, everyone agreed that the routine was very easy.  5/5 for being Easy.
3. Did you get called out on using this routine?

None of the testers were called out while using this routine.  5/5 for not getting called out.
4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?

All testers stated the hook point strength was pretty strong.  4/5 for Hook Point Strength.
5. Rapport building strength?

Testers stated this routine had an above average rapport building strength.  3/5 for Rapport Building Strength.
6. Your PUA-AFC level?

All testers were between AFC and PUA.
7. Number of times tested?

Tested 41 times.
8. Any additional insight?

As I wrote smelling your wrist first will make them alot more comfortable. -Prodigy

This one is Mall Game Money.-drewder
9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):

I always tell girls/sets that “The lady at the cosmetics counter in Macy’s/Sephora/Nordstrom’s is trying to sell me what she thinks the best smelling cologne is. Which one do you think smells better?” Then I follow up with, “I always feel like they are just trying to pitch a sale, even if it smells good or not….” -drewder

10. What scents/colognes did you use?

Play,Play Intense, Pi, Pi Neo - by Givenchy, Cool Water - by Davidoff, Orion, Vice, Apollo - by Axe, Snowdrop.  Most Votes: 1st - Play Intense.  2nd - Play.  3rd - Orion. -Prodigy

Armani Code and Jean Paul Gaultielle-Wiesel

Diesel- Only the Brave.  D&G-#1.  Armani - Code.  Only the Brave was the WINNER. -drewder

And there you have it.  This routine comes out with the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval.  I had faith this one would make it.  I have even seen Style pull it off with out verbally starting it.  It was that easy.

Next routine will be a very HANDY piece that will take a bit of time, but offers lots of kino and is one hell of a DHV.  Come back later this week and you will see what I am talking about.  Till then…..

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

So, as promised in the previous post, we are going to take it back old school.  This was something that Style has personally used and it was in the Game.  I love how when we go back a few years and revamp something that hasn’t been used here, usually spawns some sort of Stylelife Academy member using it to great lengths.  Just because it has been done before and a while ago, doesn’t mean it doesn’t work….

Or does it?

I have seen Style use this particular routine as an example at one of the Stylelife Academy Conferences this past year and I had totally forgotten about its use in the field.  A few guys at Pick Up Labs have been kicking around the idea of bringing it out and I figured, there is only one way to tell. Besides, it has been a while since we have tested out an Opener.

With that, I give you the Cologne Opener

Also, I think as a colorful bit of inspiration for others, post what colognes you used for this (question #10).  Tell us which ones WON or were the best.  If you don’t have any colognes, go to a cosmetics counter and test what they suggest is the best two colognes that THEY recommend (not the two top sellers).  And…. if you are already out at a cosmetics counter, then you are already in the field and ready to test this guy out.

Bring your results back here by Monday, February 1st and let us know how things went.  Until then…

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

A TIE.

After about a year of routines, some from Style, Stylelife Academy Students, Stylelife Coaches, and other Pick Up Artists, who would have ever thought that the 2009 Best Of Pick Up Labs would come down to The Ring Routine and Style’s 5 Questions Game.

Although, a lot of guys couldn’t pick just one, I made sure to count all suggestions.  The runner ups were Strawberry Fields in 3rd, and there was a tie between Fate’s Future Projection, the Cube, Farmer’s Baby Girl Name Opener, Prodigy’s Gummy Bears vs. Gummy Worms, and Zebulon’s Drink Clutch Routine.

I found it really interesting the way everyone chose ones that worked best for them.  It shows that in truth, there really isn’t a single routine anyone can truly pick from.  There are so many that are great and work for different situations.

Stay tuned for this weeks challenge.  Make sure you have your cameras ready for a really cool mission.  It was something that came from the GAME.  Till then;

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

Every once in a while, I hear people ask in the Stylelife Academy Flashchats, “What is the best routine on Pick Up Labs?”  Good question.  Now, you could go through and look at all the routines that got the Pick Up Labs Stamp of Approval and see which ones you like, but how about we vote on which one you think is the BEST ROUTINE of Pick Up Labs.  What did you have the most fun with?  Best results?

Let’s start if off with THE CUBE

So you tell us what you liked, didn’t like, what you had the most fun with, what gave you the best results and WHY.  This should be pretty interesting.

Keep Framing and Gaming

With so many great submissions, and a lot of awesome pics, I’ve gotta say that you guys are the best.  When Stylelife Academy Students come together and everyone posts up their pics with either hot girls, being part of a social circle, funny, or just plain scary pix, it was hard to judge who the winner was.  To be honest, no one is a loser (really, read this whole message and you will understand why).  But the ones that really shined are known.  It came down to a few really tough calls.

But, the winner of the Bravo Pose/Free Coaching Call Challenge goes out to:

BIG POPPA

Before the Bravo Pose:

After Bravo Pose Challenge:

So Congrats Big Poppa and like I said, no one is a loser in this.  Expect a surprise email from us here soon about all the details.

Other Great Pix:

Farmer (the Epic Titty Pic).

Prodigy (Mini Boba Fett had us all busting up laughing)

Bayrage and Zebulon both kept this VERY CLOSE.

Again, thanks to everyone for kicking so much ass with this and also expect a surprise email from us.  Kudos and this wraps up the Challenge.  Come back later this week to check out the BEST Pick Up Labs Post of ALL TIME. Until then…..

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

There has been quite a buzz on the Stylelife Forums about the Bravo Pose Off.  Emails have been coming over asking for an extension for New Years.  So, since everyone has been really cool, we are going to extend this for just ONE MORE WEEK.

That’s right.

(Deadline to do so is Monday, January 4th by 10PM PST.)  Again, the winner will receive a free Coaching Call from Bravo (quite the valuable prize and life changing experience: ask Zebulon).  And we might even be doing something really cool with all the other people posting their pics.

It’s the season of giving.  It is our turn to give back to you fellow testers of Pick Up Labs and Stylelife Academy that have been rocking it strong.  This is the end of the year mission.  It is easy.  It is simple.  Hell, even a caveman can do it.  What is it?

All you gotta do is do your BEST BRAVO INSPIRED POSE and submit your pix, links, and stories behind them.  For example:

This thread started by Crue: The Best Bravo Pose

Crue Rocking the Bravo Pose

Bravo Rocked this pose right after he made out with 2 girls at the same time.

From left to right:

Bolshevik, Bravo, SmoothCall, and Topher

Prodigy and friends rock the Bravo Pose for Halloween

Now, this is all for the fun of it, but also, there will be a prize for the BEST BRAVO INSPIRED POSE.  I got the OK from Bravo and the winner will receive a free coaching call from the man himself; Bravo.  A totally great way to step up your game with the Executive Coach at Stylelife.

Best of all, it doesn’t matter what your GAME level is, you can still go out and rock a pose.

SIDE NOTE:

I also heard that if we get a lot of cool ones, we might even be able to pull off something insanely awesome as a thank you to all the people that post up their pix.

So get your photos up here and your stories.  This is going to be fun and I can’t wait to see how this turns out.  Deadline to do so is Monday, January 4th by 10PM PST.

P.S. Don’t forget:

Welcome back to a breakdown of FATE.  When it happens, will you be ready?  Pick Up Labs is here to help you when it does.  This is the place where you test new openers, routines, stacks, dhv’s and closes.  Recently, we have been using a lot from Stylelife Academy students.  We have also been testing out the routines in Style’s newest release of Rules of the Game.  When it came time, I really wanted to test something from the Original Stylelife Student of the Year; Fate…. But he has so much good material, where do you really start?

I actually contacted Farmer to see which ones he thought were the best.  Instead, he sent me this whole routine.  We were quite stoked to put it up here and test it out.  This has been a favorite, but they have never been tested like this.  So, how do you think it went?

The Results of Fate’s Future Projection:

1. Does it work successfully?

This scored pretty high on the successful level. 4/5 for Successful.

2. How difficult is this routine to master?

All testers stated it was pretty easy. 4/5 for being Easy.

3. Did you get called out on using this routine?

None of the testers were called out.  5/5 for No Call Outs.

4. What is the hook point strength of this routine?

All testers stated it has a pretty strong hook point. 4/5 for Strong Hook Point.

5. Rapport building strength?

All testers stated it is pretty strong with Rapport Building. 4/5 for Strong Rapport.

6. Your PUA-AFC level?

All testers were in between PUA and AFC.

7. Number of times tested?

34 times

8. Any additional insight?

“My favorite one was telling her I was going to take her on this magic carpet ride and busted out into song “A Whole New World.” She busted up laughing and asked if I was drunk. Oddly enough, she asked for my number and wanted to see me before I left town.” -drewder

“This is meant to be used later in the interaction. the more outlandish and fantastic you make it the more they are hooked. I used Fate Polly Pocket, Tyler Ds PVC Devil and Angel, The Candy Ninjas and my own all worked well.” -Prodigy

“Used the Polly Pocket, Ninja Candy, then one I made up on the spot” -Farmer

9. Suggested Additions of Modifications to routine (if any):

“I noticed that each projection can fit into the type of target. A little calibration is key to mastering this secudtion model.” -TheC

“OWN IT… Practice IT… Run with IT. That is the only thing I can recommend. Always good to know where to go to afterwords. When I was done with the MAGIC CARPET RIDE, later on, if she got out of hand, I told her I would kick her off the Magic Carpet if she kept it up.” - drewder

“Also, when I do this routine I stay near her. (not in her face), I talk about us (pointing to us) against them (pointing to the others around).

PS: I got laughs when I pointed to Mickey Mouse (imaginary small friend) and she started talking to him.” -angelsin

After a tight review, this gets the Pick Up Labs Stamp Of Approval.  Congrats to FATE on all his success.  Now it is time for your success.  To hit the field for the holidays and open, game, close and have that New Years Kiss lined up.  Or, go out and use your Favorite Pick Up Labs Routine and make things happen.

This next week is going to be the GIFT from the GAME and one of your favorite Stylelife Coaches.  Stay tuned for the greatness.  Till then:

KEEP FRAMING AND GAMING

One of the best stories from the Stylelife Elite Forum is the one about Stylelife member, Fate.  He started out like most guys and wanted to build a better life.  He joined the Stylelife Forums and began a journey that took him on an incredible path.  He is now engaged to the girl of his dreams.  And with a great game plan, this type of thing could happen to you.

Ok, maybe that’s not everyone’s dream, but to hook up with a dream girl should be.  Now, I personally owe a lot to this guy.  He has helped me out a lot when I started out.  Fate is also the guy that put together the Stylelife Academy Routines Manual that is found on the Elite Forums which is a very valuable set of openers, routines, DHVs, pebbles, number closes/text routines and much more.  Loaded with the creme de la creme of GAME and hosts many routines from various pick up artists, including the man himself; Style.

This is one such set up.  Put together in a never seen before mission.  Fate, the Sneak and Farmer approved.  I give you:

Fate’s Future Projection:

This will be one of the last routines posted for this year.  From one of Stylelife’s favorite members; Fate.  Come back before Monday, December 14th and post your results, thoughts, ideas, and what you thought.  The next mission will be a big one that you DON’T WANT TO MISS!!!!  It will be one of the best gifts from one of the Best Stylelife Coaches…….
